SNARE receptor protein complexes in presynaptic neurons function as inhibitors of calcium transport to dampen or reduce the amount of neurotransmitter vesicles that participate in exocytosis.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

SNARE proteins are involved in the docking and fusion of neurotransmitter vesicles with the presynaptic membrane, facilitating the release of neurotransmitters into the synaptic cleft, not inhibiting calcium transport.
